The Kenmore 30 inch gas cooktop model 3240 needs improvement

We purchased the Kenmore 30 inch Bisque colored gas cooktop model 3240 a few months ago. The first thing we noticed was th contruction was not as sturdy as our previous cooktop by Kenmore. The paint job on the cooktop was missing paint in places and thin. The automatic pilot was great though as now we could ignite the burners easier, however the real test came with the cooking. This cooktop has knobs that give you a range from high to medium to low. But realistically, there is no true medium. Either the temperture is too hot or too low, which is a real problem cooking. It is a lot like those portable one burner cooking appliances where temperature range is concerned. The other problem is, the burner grates come off too easily. If you move the pan you can dislodge the grate and burn yourself or cause a fire. I do not recommend purchasing this particular cooktop.

The reason we chose this one was because the photo makes it looks as though the round area around the burner is black.
We arranged for installation, open the box, and it's all WHITE! We were paying the guy to travel to our home and install, so we are stuck with it...
